  • the panel 5 is particularly preferably rotatably connected to a backrest of the vehicle seat. Upon rotation of the backrest about the axis of rotation 20 (in FIG. 1 not shown), therefore, the cover 5 rotates about the axis of rotation 20.
  • the panel 5 is a housing 6 introduced.
  • the housing 6 preferably has a friction surface 7 and is rotatably connected by means of a fork which engages the housing 6 with a seat part of a vehicle seat.
  • the friction surface 7 is conically shaped.
  • a coupling means 4 preferably has Verraststege 10.
  • the number of Verraststege 10 is equal to the number of recesses 9 of the guide member 8.
  • the coupling means 4 also has in the embodiment, a portion 22 on. With this portion 22, the coupling means 4 can enter into a frictional connection with the friction surface 7 of the housing 6, the partial region 22 is therefore preferably also conical.
  • a motion converter 11 preferably has a sleeve 12 and a core 13.
  • the core 13 preferably has helical recesses 15, which form a positive and / or non-positive connection with webs 14 of the sleeve 12, when the core 13 is at least partially pushed into the sleeve 12.
  • the core 13 preferably has an introduction channel for a Reclinerachse 21 (in FIG. 1 not shown), wherein the Reclinerachse 21 is positively and / or non-positively connected to the core 13 when the Reclinerachse 21 is in the core 13.
  • the Reclinerachse 21 By a rotation of the Reclinerachse 21 preferably the Recliner is locked and unlocked.
  • the adjusting device 1 is connected via the Reclinerachse 21 with the Recliner in an advantageous manner. Not in the FIG.
  • a first spring means 16 which preferably extends outside the coupling means 4.
  • a second spring means 17 is preferably placed around the core 13 and is connected to the sleeve 12 via a notch 25 (in FIG FIG. 1 not shown).
  • the second spring means 17 and the core 13 are preferably inserted into the housing 6 as in FIG FIG. 1 shown.
  • the housing 6 has longitudinal recesses in the inner and the sleeve 12 has in the exemplary embodiment longitudinal webs 23. In a displacement of the sleeve 12 in the housing 6 while the longitudinal webs 23 are preferably pushed into the longitudinal recesses of the housing 6. In this case, preferably, a positive and / or non-positive connection between the sleeve 12 and the housing 6.
  • the motion converter 11 is preferably introduced with the second spring means 17 and the housing 6. Subsequently, the coupling means 4 comes with the first spring element 16 in contact with the sleeve 12. The coupling means 4 is preferably pushed over the sleeve 12.
  • the first and second spring means 16, 17 are preferably coil springs and substantially non-compressed when the Recliner is locked.
  • a lever 18 is further attached, wherein the lever 18 is rotatable and by a train 19 (in FIG. 1 not shown) can be moved. As already mentioned, a recliner is locked or unlocked by the adjusting device 1.
  • the backrest can be rotated by a rotation about the axis of rotation 20 (in FIG.
  • the backrest is adjusted in a comfort range, if it is pivoted about the axis of rotation 20 only in an angular range of ⁇ 10 °. In this case, therefore, the coupling means 4 is rotated together with the backrest in a comfort area.
  • a table folding position or a sleeping position of the Recliner must preferably be unlocked before an adjustment of the backrest is possible.
  • the backrest In an easy-entry adjustment while the backrest is preferably rotated at an angle of about 45 ° to the seat part in the direction of the seat part about the rotation axis 20. As a result, seating on the rear seat is facilitated.
  • the backrest In a table folding function, the backrest is preferably pivoted substantially horizontally onto the seat part. In a sleeping position, the backrest is pivoted away from the seat portion and pivoted substantially in a plane to the seat portion. Since these adjustment positions are preferably only possible with an unlocked recliner and in this case the coupling means 4 rotatably connected to the seat part, the clutch means 4 is not rotated with an adjustment of the backrest in one of these positions with the backrest. Of course, other positions of the backrest with unlocked Recliner are possible.
  • FIG. 2 is schematically illustrated the adjusting device 1, wherein the components of the adjusting device 1 are positioned to each other so that the recliner is locked.
  • the Reclinerachse 21 is positively and / or non-positively connected to the core 13.
  • the coupling means 4 is with its Verraststegen 10 in the recesses 9 of the guide member 8 and is therefore positively and / or non-positively connected thereto. Since the guide member 8 is connected to the panel 5 and the panel 5 in turn is rotatably connected to the backrest, the coupling means 4 in this case is also rotationally fixed to the Backrest connected.
  • the portion 22 of the coupling means 4 is then also not on the friction surface 7 of the housing 6, so that no frictional connection between the housing 6 and coupling means 4 is formed.
  • the lever 18 preferably rotates in the direction of the arrow D shown.
  • the coupling means 4 is preferably moved in the direction A and thereby preferably the first spring means 16 compressed. Since the sleeve 12 is in a positive and / or non-positive contact with the coupling means 4, the sleeve 12 is preferably moved in the direction A, wherein the second spring means 17 is compressed.
  • the coupling means 4 preferably has a spacing 26 relative to its partial region 22. By this distance 26, the path 27 to the friction surface 7 is variable.
  • the motion converter 11 thus converts an axial longitudinal movement of the coupling means 4 and the sleeve 12 in a rotational movement. Since the core 13 is in a positive and / or non-positive connection with the Reclinerachse 21, and the Reclinerachse 21 is preferably rotated in the direction B. After a certain angle of rotation, which has passed through the Reclinerachse 21, the Recliner is unlocked. However, the unlocking of the recliner is preferably only when the coupling means 4 is no longer in the positive and / or non-positive connection with the recesses 9 of the guide element 8 by the displacement in direction A with the Verraststegen 10 and preferably the coupling means 4 already its portion 22 is in frictional engagement with the friction surface 7 of the housing 6.
  • the coupling means 4 is already rotatably connected to the seat part when the recliner unlocked and the backrest, for example, in a sleeping position, can be adjusted. Will now unlock the backrest with Adjusted Recliner rotates the panel 5 with the guide member 8 and the recesses 9 about the rotation axis 20.
  • Adjusted Recliner rotates the panel 5 with the guide member 8 and the recesses 9 about the rotation axis 20.
  • the Bowden cable 19 is first actuated and thereby the lever 18 is removed from the coupling means 4.
  • the lever 18 no longer presses the coupling means 4 in the direction A.
  • the compressed first spring means 16 then the coupling means 4 is preferably pressed in the direction C.
  • the portion 22 of the coupling means 4 moves away from the friction surface 7 of the housing 6.
  • the coupling means 4 is therefore no longer rotatably connected to the seat part.
  • the Verraststege 10 are pressed by the first spring means 16 against the edge 24 of the guide member 8.
  • the Verraststege 10 can only then engage in the recesses 9 of the guide member 8 again when the panel 5 with the guide member 8 is again in the same position as before the adjustment.
  • the panel 5 and the guide member 8 with the recesses 9 are then again in the same position relative to the coupling means 4 when the backrest has again taken the same comfort position as before the adjustment with unlocked Recliner. If this is the case, the Verraststege 10 of the coupling means 4 can slide in the recesses 9 of the guide member 8.
  • the coupling means 4 by the positive and / or non-positive connection to the guide member 8 and the panel 5 rotatably connected to the backrest. Only when the Verraststege 10 of the coupling means 4 is again in the recesses 9 of the guide member 8, the coupling means 4 can be moved by the decompression of the first spring means 16 further in the direction C. Only then is the second spring means 17 no longer compressed by the coupling means 4 and begins to decompress. Since the second spring means 17 is connected by the notch 25 with the sleeve 12, while the sleeve 12 is pressed in the direction C.
  • the sleeve 12 moves thereby with the webs 14 positively and / or non-positively along the spiral-shaped recesses 15 of the core 13, wherein the core 13 is rotated opposite to the direction B. Due to the positive and / or non-positive connection between the core 13 and Reclinerachse 21 and the Reclinerachse 21 is rotated opposite to the direction B.
  • the recliner locks only when the sleeve 12 with the webs 14 is back in the position on the core 13, as before the unlocking of the recliner. Consequently, the Recliner locked only at a certain angle of rotation the Reclinerachse 21 must have gone through.
  • the vehicle seat by the adjustment device 1 on a memory function since a set comfort adjustment of the backrest, which is done with a locked Recliner is fixed by the coupling means 4.
  • the fixation of the position for the comfort position is achieved in that the coupling means 4 is rotatably connected to the seat part, when the backrest is pivoted with unlocked Recliner and the Recliner can not lock again until the backrest is in substantially the same comfort position, as before the adjustment, since only the coupling means 4 can be moved in the direction C and the Reclinerachse can be rotated to lock.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows the adjusting device 1, wherein the coupling means 4 is not in a frictional connection to the friction surface 7 of the housing 6 with its portion 22. As a result, the recliner is locked. A rotation of the backrest is possible only in the so-called comfort area, in which case the coupling means 4 rotates.
  • FIG. 4 is shown schematically that the portion 22 of the coupling means 4 has received a frictional connection with the friction surface 7 of the housing 6. In this case, the recliner is unlocked. Upon rotation of the backrest, the coupling means 4 would not rotate with the backrest.
  • FIG. 5 is schematically shown that the friction surface 7 of the housing 6 and the portion 22 of the coupling means 4 have received a frictional connection, wherein the lever 18 is further deflected than in the FIG. 4 ,
  • the motion converter 11 is shown. In this embodiment, however, the spiral recesses 15 are missing on the core 13 of the motion converter 11.
  • the recliner axis 21 is inserted in the center of the core 13 and enters into a form-fitting and / or non-positive connection with the core 13.
  • the adjusting device 1 is shown in an exploded view, wherein the Reclinerachse 21 is not shown.
